Um, if the machine has no network attached to it, why are you setting up the box to be a firewall? A firewall is supposed to sit between the internet and your internal network, but you appear to have not internal network, so the firewall seems kind of useless. Are you sure you don't just want to configure PPP and not bother with the firewall at all? -- _ _ _ ___ ____ ___ ______________________________________ / \/ \ | ||_ _|| _ \|___| | Jason Andresen -- jandrese@mitre.org / /\/\ \ | | | | | |/ /|_|_ | Views expressed may not reflect those /_/ \_\|_| |_| |_|\_\|___| | of the Mitre Corporation.
